If not, you will be looking at custom springs. If you get bigger wheels, the ride height will increase, although the car will look a little like a tractor! You can fit 17" wheels on a Yaris (Vitz), but if you value your friends this is not a good idea as it will scrape all the time with almost any weight in the back. 16" are fine, even when lowered. So with standard springs and 16" wheels you should be fine. However, if you don't want new wheels, it looks like custom, bigger springs are needed. But beware, the body roll is pretty bad as standard, and increasing the height won't help, so you will have to take it steady, especially on corners. Oh and investigate new shocks if you are getting new springs, just to be safe! Sorry for the long post, hope it helps.
